Princess Sophia’s Announcement

We all have just one life (dependant on your beliefs I know). But right here, right now, I’m sure that most of us long, in some way, to know that the life we have lived has made a difference?

I know that this is a major driver for me personally.

I’m not necessarily creating things to sell, to make money. I do it for the love of it and to make people smile.

I’ve been asked on several occasions now what I will do with my precious phoenix, with Princess Sophia, once she’s completed. As you know I’m putting everything into her creation. So much love and attention to detail, all my passion for what I do. It’s what I feel compelled to do.

Along the way, I’ve been guided by my inner instincts, and what I imagine Princess Sophia would want to happen to her if she could really talk to me (and believe me I can quite often hear her voice in my head as clear as day).

As a Phoenix, representing rebirth, rising from the ashes and of ever lasting resilience, I would like her to represent that irrepressible spirit of humans to keep getting back up and carrying on with living our human lives with true grit and determination.

Princess Sophia is proud, beautiful and absolutely resolute in her determination to help me to make a difference. She wants me to use her creation to help others. People in desperate need and suffering. Those who need funds to help them rebuild their lives from the ashes.

She wants to help the victims of the Indonesian earthquake and tsunamis.

I have set up a Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mary-ann-toop

All proceeds are being directed to the Disasters Emergency Committee (https://www.dec.org.uk).

For a chance to own Sophia and bring her into your home and life. To own her as a constant reminder of the human spirits ability and determination to recreate themselves and their life. All you need to do is donate £5.

There is no limit to the number of times you can donate to be in with a chance of owning Princess Sophia.

Please spread this message far and wide? Let’s see just how much money Princess Sophia can raise for this cause?

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and encouragement through my 100 day challenge. It turning out to be a life changing experience.

Princess Sophia will be complete and ready to fly to her new home in time for Christmas. I will be conducting the raffle at 12 noon (GMT) on the final day of my challenge: Sunday 9th December 2018.

Love what I’m doing but simply want to support the cause rather than enter the raffle?
